They do it to teams, companies and organizations.. why can't they do it to a country?

The situation seems to be only getting worse.. and no solution is in sight... every day that goes by brings only bad news and those that are in the position to do anything seem as if they have no intention of solving the problem...

If it was a limb, the only visible solution would be to cut it off and let it die on its own.. If it was a team, it would be easier to disband it... If it was a company, the more profitable move would be to close it down and sell its assets...

So why don't we just close down the Philippines? Declare it as just a piece of land with people in it, and the people as citizens of nowhere, free to seek citizenship in other countries. Maybe it would do us all a lot of good. Who gives a shit about people who died centuries ago for the same piece of land? If they were alive today, maybe they'd agree with me.

Heck, this would even probably be a first in the world. I've never heard of it having been done before, why let someone else beat us to it?

Maybe i should start going around with a clipboard and ask people for their signatures, for a petition to have this country closed down.. Maybe...

Happy Valentines sa inyong lahat

It's one of those days when i wake up too late for breakfast and too early for lunch.. so i compromise with one glass of milk and one oreo cookie, while watching the royal tenenbaums on star movies... karaniwan na ito para sa isang saturday morning para sakin... nang matapos ang pelikula ay umupo na ko sa harap nung isa pang tv sa sala, kung saan nakakabit ang "SNES" ko, at dun ay nag laro ako ng nbalive 2004 hanggang dumating ang aking inay na dala ang lunch namin..
Magdadalawang buwan na since last akong nakatikim ng kahit anong pagkaing sa Jolibee binili, and matagal na tong panahon na to, since last term ay halos every other day kami dun ng mga kabarkada ko nag lulunch... Paborito ko sa jolibee ang palabok nila, lalo na pag may kasamang cheeseburger, o jolly hotdog... pero nung unang nakita ng mga kabarkada ko na ito ang inorder ko, tila sila ay natawa sa combination ng mga pagkain ko... para sa kanila ay di bagay ang cheeseburger o jolly hotdog kasama ang palabok... siguro kakaiba nga talaga ang panlasa ko, kasi hanggang ngayon, dalawa pa lang ang nakikita kong sumasang ayon sakin sa combination na ito...
Nadadala sa panahon ngayon ang dami ng mga nakikilala mong bagong tao, o mga taong nakikita mo ulit pagkaraan ng mahabang panahon... in other words, uso ngayon ang mga reunion at ang lalong dumadami ang paraan para makakilala ka ng mga bagong kaibigan.. Isa na sa mga may gawa nito ay ang Friendster, na kung saan ay nakita ako ng mga kaklase ko nung elementary at mayroon ding mga taong di ko kilala na pinapadalan ako ng friend requests.. sa totoo lang, medyo enjoy tong site na to, pero para sakin, dahil lang sa mga testimonial, besides that, parang wala na ko nakikita pang ibang gamit nya... pati ang inay ko ay nakihalo na rin sa mga reunion ngayong panahon, kahapon lang ay nag lunch sila ng mga childhood friends nya na mga balikbayan...
tinanong ako ng isa sa mga kabarkada ko dati, kung bakit di ako mahilig makipagkilala sa mga bagong tao... kadalasan daw kasi, ay kada may ipapakilala sakin ay tinitignan ko lang yung tao, minsan may kasamang nod... totoo naman ang hinala nya, wala nga ako masyadong interes na makipagkilala sa mga ibang tao, pero ayos lang sakin kung may ipapakilala sila or may makikipag kilala sakin, pero wala akong balak gumawa ng first move para makipag kilala...
simple lang naman ang sagot ko sa kanya... kasi kahit kakaiba ang tingin sakin ng mga kabarkada ko, tanggap pa rin nila ang pagkain ko ng jolly hotdog at palabok... isa lang ito sa mga kakaibang bagay na tungkol sakin na tanggap na nila, at kung minsan man ay taasan nila ng kilay ang mga panibagong trip ko, isang segundo lang ito sa habang buhay ng pagkakaibigang binigay na nila sakin... di ko na
gusto pa ng mga kakilalang puro pretensions at gamitan lang ang mangyayari, na nakangiti kada makikita ka pero deep inside di ka nila tanggap for all that you are... masaya na ko ng tanggap nila ang palabok at jollyhotdog ko

Other famous food combinations ko

Eto ang listahan ng iba pang mga kombinasyon ng pagkain na aking nasubukan na, na di kaya ng mga kabarkada ko...

Sashimi and sushi with pizza

lasagna with palabok

lasagna with kare-kare

binagoongan with pizza

kaya nyo ba to? sometimes i also find the energy to play with my mom's blender, blending every fruit i can find in the kitchen, adding milk and cream and some kalamansi... it just takes a little imagination and a strong stomach... pero ang hindi ko talaga kayang kainin, ay yung three-layer sandwich na ang palaman ay peanut butter, cheesewhiz tsaka lady's choice, madalas itong baon nung isang kabarkada ko nung high school, eewww...

Let's pick on the guy with the common name

If your name is Jose Simon Jr. please raise your hand...

i guess i should get used to days like these, however, even if you prepare yourself, you cant help feeling like you wanna throw yourself off the top of a building after a day like the one i just had...
it started off with my dad waking me up at 930 am.. 930.. since its a thursday and i wasnt supposed to be at school till 1, i barely stopped myself from shouting "ano ba problema mo mamaya pa pasok ko?!" at him.. luckily, i was able to stop myself and just innocently ask why he was waking me up... apparently it was my mom who wanted me up, and after my dad told her that my class was at 1 pm, she sent me a message through text reminding me that i was supposed to go to the bank with her and my grandma, to open a long overdue atm account that they had been planning to get me since i was in high school... at around 11am me, my mom and grandma were already at the bank and arranging some of the requirements.. i had brought my passport and school id, since i still dont have a driver's licence... my mom, however, did not bother to find out what would be the requirements for people opening new accounts, so we didnt know that we would be needing an id picture and did not bring one... at first it was ok, the woman at the bank was willing to overlook that small thing abt the picture... until she ran my name on the computer and found that there are several other Jose Simon, Jr.'s in this country, and some of them had criminal records... they could not allow me to open an account without some sort of certificate that i have to get from the city hall... they also told me to get my picture taken on the way.... so my morning was just wasted... nothing wrong happened on the way to school, unless you consider the traffic jam on the way, something im getting quite used to by now... the first hour of class was fine, until the teacher snapped and got pissed off about being addressed "sir" when she was clearly a"ma'am" according to her... so she then went on a short rant about people who keep standing up and going out of the room and back, then dropped the lecture and started a graded recitation, asking people at random from her class list about what the hell is cyclic variation.. unfortunately for me, i had just gotten the handouts from one of my classmates 3 minutes before she started her act, so i was given a zero when she called my name, add to that the fact that i got to class15 minutes after it began... the thing that pissed me off about that is that i wasnt even doing anything to show disrespect to her, i was just sitting in my chair, pretending to be listening while politely drawing on my desk with a piece of lead i had picked up off the floor while i was chewing gum in class.... why didnt she have a go at those who kept standing up?... anyway, the day doesnt end there.. by 230 the class was finished and i stil didnt want to go home, but the friend i was supposed to meet in g4 said he couldnt make it, so i texted other people... they were all either sick, already at home, or had stuff to do, so i grudginly went home and decided to get out of people's ways and sit here in front of the computer to avoid anymore bad luck, and salvage what's left of the day....

Twilight Zone

When my sister got home today she told me a story that had me laughing my head off right away.... You see, my sister and i had just recently swapped cellphones, so we were adjusting the phones to suit our own preferences, which included the time format... last night the alarm on the phone my sister was using went off and it showed that it was 5:30 am, which was about the regular time my sister wakes up... so she stood up, was on her way out of the room when she noticed that the time on the clock on the dresser was 3:40 am..she checked it and noticed that it was moving, so it meant that the clock was not broken, but she turned the alarm on it off, in case it was wrong... once she was downstairs, she noticed that the clock there also said 3:40... i could barely stop imagining what couldve gone through her mind that time...
holy smokes! the whole world is on the wrong time and im the only person who knows the correct time!....
holy crabcakes! i've travelled 1hour and 50minutes back in time! good thing i brought my phone with me!
holy cow! i wonder what im supposed to change since ive been sent back in time?
hmm... maybe ive been sent back to make pancakes just in time for when i wake up for breakfast?

Fortunately for her, she turned on the tv and she saw that there were no shows on, and that the time really was 3:40 am... it was that she just made a mistake when she set the time on the phone when we switched.. see i set my phones on the 24-hour time format, so 1 pm is read as 13:00... and she thought that 8pm was 22:00, so the phone she was using was two hours ahead... moral of the story... learn to count after 10.

What's going on in here?
